Christina Jeffrey For Congress

A college professor with a PhD in Political Science, Christina Jeffrey bills herself as a ‘Common Sense Grandmother’ in her bid for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives from South Carolina’s Fourth Congressional District (Greenville, Spartanburg and Union counties and a portion of Laurens County). She is one of five Republican candidates who will be on the ballot in a primary election to be held on June 10, 2010. In this video interview from the BMW Zentrum in Greer SC, Jeffrey says she is running for Congress to take the country back from Congresssmen and Congresswomen who have not had the ambition to check the other branches of government or guard the public’s purse and prestige. If elected, Jeffrey says she will be a thorn in the side of U.S. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, calling that the role of the loyal opposition. Jeffrey says her years as a teacher of the Constitution, her extensive knowledge of the workings of the U.S. government, her service on many government commissions, and her role as historian of the U.S. House of Representatives make her uniquely qualified to serve in the U.S. Congress. Jeffrey presently teaches Foundations of American Government at Wofford College in Spartanburg, SC. She has been a tenured Associate Professor of Political Science at Kennesaw State University in Georgia, and the Congressional Historian for the 104th Congress of the United States.
